i do agree that Financial Statements should be effectively communicated and analyze Monthly and Year to Date. It is the company's performance standing, and be used as a tool towards decision making moving forward. It reflects on how each department performs towards meeting the target goal. Sometimes it is a bit tricky to understand, and maybe not all leadership team see its value, and see they are on the support team role only. But each Leader should see they do contribute to the entire Financial Statement.
